I think I've seen the same poll. The cross-breaks are really interesting - the number for the 18-24 age group is 90 odd per cent YES, a bit less for the next up. In other words, the people who would have to go and fight and the field grade officers who would lead them are up for it.

The question is whether the well-off and established who make the procurement and force structure decisions are willing to prepare and pay the taxes. That said, look how well their government has done coping with the virus. Who's willing, again?
